    I think this has been answered before but how would you go about dealing with pessimist co-workers.

    I started my new gig yesterday and I have to collaborate with another designer who complains a lot.

    He prefers to use Figma over Sketch because of certain features and refused to switch over for a long time. Jokes on him, if you know how to use one, the other will be easy to pick up and vice-versa.
    Learning a new tool should be seen as adding another skill under your belt, keeping you up to date, and in turn make you a more valuable asset to your team. Why would you complain about something like that?!!?
